Hey so now that you living on your own but your recovering from invegga how are you supporting yourself. That was always the problem with antipsychotics for me. How am i supposed to move out if im feelimg so bad from the antipsychotics. Like i doubt is be able to hold a job and be able to cook and clean and what not. But good for you for moving out. Im guessing while recovering living on your own will be hard. But it will be much better once youve recovered frok the invegga and are living on your ownI moved out of my parents house - just couldn't handle that life of being constantly drug to the hospital by my dad, and needdled and shot up with invega or abilify. Couple that with how my doctor treats me and enough is enough.
I had a psychotic episode once or twice, and it sucked for everyone involved... But I'm not a schizophrenic and won't live my life as if I'm someone sick in need of pharmaceutical drugs and a quack doctor.
I feel like I gotta try and make myself the best I can be, so that my healing process is smoother. I still have anhedonia to a certain degree, and some other symptoms but it's getting better. I think that switching to abilify and lowering protactin that way was the best decision that I made before quitting medication all together - I had high prolactin for years and got used to all the negative side effects. But it was killing me slowly. I feel soo much better now - but that's mainly because of the normalized protactin now. I really hope my strength to go to the gym comes back, then I'll consider myself fully healed.
For years I've been fat/sick/tired/braindead because of Invega and prolactin. Today I'm actually hopeful that I can recover and one day be back working out and enjoying life to the fullest. This will take time but I think this is the last time I'll be stuck in the antipsychotic medicine game.
